The MuCEM

The MuCEM, the first major national museum dedicated to Mediterranean civilisations, is divided into three sections:

the J4, on the port’s old breakwater
the newly renovated Fort Saint-Jean
the Centre de Conservation et de Ressources at the Belle de Mai.

Accessible to everybody and with a diverse programme, this museum intends to weave new bonds between between Europe and the Mediterranean. A veritable centre of culture, visitors can enjoy exhibitions, debates, lectures, performances, films, or a simple walk along the magnificent ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean.

Suspended between sky and water, floating at the entrance to the old port of Marseilles, the very location of MuCEM underpins its mission to become a new horizon for culture and a meeting point between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
